Extradition of Gruevski Unlikely

“The EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn stated yesterday that he doesn’t believe that Nikola Gruevski will be extradited from Hungary to Macedonia.

When asked whether he supports the amendments of the European Parliament to the Commission’s Report on Macedonia that require Hungary to extradite Gruevski, Hahn answered that ‘I hope that will happen, but it is less likely because these two countries don’t have an agreement. However, I understand the position of the European Parliament.'” (European Western Balkans)
